This all came as crews were still trying to clean up during storms on Sunday.

LIVE COVERAGE: Storms bring tornado warnings to city of Chicago and surrounding areas

With so many storms this summer, some have been unable to catch a break, or even catch up. At 111th Street and Princeton Avenue in the Roseland neighborhood, a tree has been down for at least three weeks, according to a homeowner.

The downed tree, and others like it, could be a hazard when another round of storms arrives on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring Pullman community, ComEd crews were on the scene Tuesday morning restoring electricity to the city tow yard at 103rd Street and Doty Avenue.

As of Tuesday morning, ComEd was dealing with a mere nine outages. But this was not likely to last given the new round of storms that prompted a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 2 p.m. Tuesday for the vast majority of the CBS Chicago viewing area.

All this comes six years after a massive derecho brought 100 mph winds and left a trail of damage in the Chicago area. On Aug. 10, 2020, a Monday just as Aug. 10 was in 2026, the derecho lasted for several hours as it tore across the Midwest from Nebraska across Iowa to parts of Wisconsin and Illinois and then into Indiana and Michigan.

Along with the derecho, 11 tornadoes were confirmed in Illinois from that one storm system. An EF-1 tornado touched down in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood. EF-1 tornadoes were also confirmed in Yorkville and Plainfield.

In all, the derecho spawned 26 tornadoes and killed four people across 90,000 square miles in the U.S.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated the single day of extreme weather on Aug. 10, 2020, cost more than $11 billion, making it "the most expensive thunderstorm event in modern U.S. history." Among other things, the derecho also decimated ComEd equipment.

Fear of a repeat Midwest derecho on Tuesday comes less than 48 hours after two EF-1 tornadoes hit LaSalle County, Illinois, early Monday morning.

One tornado slammed into the town of Ransom, derailing several freight train cars, while the other touched down north of Streator, flattening several homes.

As of Tuesday, there had been no reports of injuries in the tornadoes.

Also as of Tuesday, a spokesperson said 2,000 ComEd employees and contractors were prepositioned across the region, ready to make repairs as a new round of storms swept in.

A Tornado Warning for Kane County until 11 a.m., Cook and DuPage counties, including Chicago, until 11:15 a.m. and for Kankakee and Will counties and Lake County, Indiana until 11:30 a.m.

If you are in the area of the tornado warning, you should seek shelter in a basement or an interior room — like a closet or bathroom — with no windows on the lowest level of your home or building. 

Tornado sirens have been reported in Aurora and Plainfield around 10:15 a.m. Aurora University has instructed its students to seek shelter. 

There have been reports of winds peaking at 98 mph near Plainfield as of 10:24 a.m. If you have west-facing windows, you are advised to move away from them while the storm blows through. 

Around 10:45 a.m. reports of tornado sirens in the city of Chicago started to be posted to social media. 

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect for McHenry County until 10:45 a.m.; for Grundy and Livingston counties in Illinois and La Porte County in Indiana until 11 a.m.; and for Cook, DuPage, Kankakee and Will counties until 11:15 a.m.

A destructive thunderstorm is expected to hit Chicago in the next half hour with 80-90 mph wind gusts. 

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for LaSalle, Kane, Kankakee, Grundy, Will, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, McHenry, Kendall,  and Lake counties in Illinois and Newton, Jasper, Porter and Lake counties in Indiana until 2 p.m.  and for La Porte County until 4 p.m. CDT. 

A Flood Advisory has been issued for Boone, DeKalb, LaSalle, Lee, Ogle and Winnebago counties until 1:30 p.m. and Grundy, Kane and Kendall counties until 2 p.m.

There is a ground stop at Chicago O'Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport due to thunderstorms.

The main window for severe weather in the area is expected to be about 9:30 a.m. through 1:30 p.m. The greatest risks are for flooding and wind damage, as a derecho in Iowa is barreling due east toward the area and is expected to cut a path of destruction through the Chicago area and Northwest Indiana. 

Wind gusts of 80 to 95 mph are possible during these storms, with more isolated gusts over 95 mph. Hurricane force wind gusts over 70 miles per hour have already been detected by doppler radar near Sycamore in DeKalb County as of 10 a.m.

The storms are expected to reach the city by about 11 a.m.

There are outflow boundaries along the central and southern lines of the storm which could produce tornado warnings as the line of squall storms reaches it. 

The storms are forecast to move east-southeast through the Chicago metro and Northwest Indiana.

Heavy rainfall will also be a concern, especially across Chicago, which already received up to 5 inches of rain by Sunday night. Localized flooding could develop where storms repeatedly track over the same areas.

Storm activity should decrease later Tuesday afternoon into tonight, but the overall weather pattern remains active, with additional chances for thunderstorms continuing through the end of the week and into the weekend.

What is a derecho?

A derecho is defined by the National Weather Service as a complex of thunderstorms that produces a relatively unbroken line of wind damage measuring at least 240 miles in length with wind gusts at least 58 miles per hour along its path. 

In 2020, a massive derecho with winds around 100 mph cut a path of devastation across the Midwest, including the Chicago area and Northwest and Central Indiana, causing an estimated $11 billion in damage. In 2009 a Super Derecho was recorded as one of the strongest on record, traveling more than 1,000 miles in 24 hours and causing $500 million in damage as well as a handful of deaths.

"Before AI accelerates any faster, the city is taking steps now to protect Chicagoans from the impacts of data center development while we undertake the comprehensive work that's necessary to establish stronger permanent protections for our communities," Johnson said. 

The mayor also called on the City Council to pass a temporary moratorium on new data centers and expansions of existing facilities while the city develops permanent regulations.

"Chicagoans have voiced concerns around data center impacts-from energy affordability and grid reliability to pollution and water consumption-that should be urgently addressed," said Illinois Environmental Council City Programs Director Iyana Simba.

The move follows similar actions in other major cities, including Denver in May and New York statewide in July 2026.

The order Johnson signed on Tuesday tightens air pollution control permit reviews, sets new noise rules, and requires a cross-departmental review of data center impacts on energy, water, and cumulative environmental and community effects.

"Chicago will not allow unchecked development to strain our water supply, drive up energy costs, or compromise the health of our communities," Johnson said.

There are "approximately 39" data centers in Chicago, according to a news release from the mayor's office, most built under now-outdated frameworks that did not account for their scale.

Modern data centers can place significant pressure on electricity grids and water systems while also contributing to localized noise and air quality impacts, the release states.

Noise complaints are a common concern from residents living near data centers. In March, the Aurora City Council approved restrictions for new data centers after residents complained they could hear the noise "all the time."

Most data centers in the Chicago area rely on municipal drinking water to cool their computers and equipment, which often evaporates. 

Other Illinois cities, including Bloomington and Normal, have also enacted data center moratoriums.

The executive order is built upon policy recommendations made in July by the City's Sustainable Data Centers Working Group, which was established in 2024 and met monthly over the last year to develop them.

 If the City Council passes a temporary moratorium, the council's action would take over, giving the city time to develop permanent rules.

"We are open to innovation and investment, but it must be done responsibly, transparently, and in partnership with the people most affected," Johnson said.

The Data Centers Task Force is set to begin work immediately and is co-chaired by the Mayor's Chief Sustainability Officer and the Chief of Policy.

In his Live 77 project, Cole is on a mission to spend time living in every community area in the city. CBS News Chicago caught up with him in September 2025, when he was about eight and a half months into the project.

Rather than going between adjoining communities, Cole has bounced from the South Side to the North and West. He started the project in February 2025 with South Shore, followed by Pullman, Uptown, Humboldt Park, Rogers Park, Portage Park, Chicago Lawn, North Lawndale, and many others.

Right now, he's in the Irving Park community.

Cole said connecting with people is the purpose of the mission.

"I've met with block club captains, civic leaders, liquor store owners, laundromat owners, aldermen, state representatives," Cole said. "I want to figure out the community assets. I want to build some real relationships, make some real connections. I want to see if there's opportunities for collaboration with my nonprofit organization, and just understand the neighborhoods from the people that live there."

Cole said he has learned a lot from his mission already so far.

"All those stereotypes go out the window when you have a kitchen-table discussion with somebody. You realize everybody's trying to raise their family the best they can, trying to run their small business the best they can, they're trying to keep their block as safe as they can," Cole said. "So there is 77 different communities, but there's really just one Chicago with 77 different ways to be proud of."

Cole also said there have been a few surprises on his journey.

"What's been surprising for me is the neighborhoods that they say is the highest-crime neighborhoods actually have the most love," he said. That's where you find the neighbors that: 'Wait, this is my block! This is my neighborhood!' And they organize."

Cole pointed out one example in Little Village, where community activists pass out whistles underneath the arch over 26th Street.

"So I feel like there's a lot of mutual aid organizations in Chicago. There's a lot of ways that people show resistance beyond just murals," he said. "People are actually doing the work."

Cole said his perspective has changed in 18 months, and he is looking forward to 18 more.

"I realized that I just need to keep on listening to people. This is a 77-month listening tour, and I don't know anything," he said. "I want to learn from the people how I can help them better, and so, stop talking a lot, and just listen to what people need."

At 3:09 a.m., a gray Jeep sport-utility vehicle crashed into the Corner Market, located behind a Shell station at the southeast corner of Armitage Avenue and Wood Street.

After crashing in, police said two people entered the convenience store and tried to take the ATM, before they gave up, ditched the Jeep, and ran off.

CBS News Chicago spoke to the owner of the Jeep. He did not want to speak on camera, but he provided Ring camera video of the suspects pulling up to his house, near 60th Street and Vernon Avenue in the West Woodlawn neighborhood.

The thieves then drove off with the man's vehicle.

The Ring camera video did not capture anyone's face.

Grand Central Area detectives were investigating the theft Tuesday morning.

Chicago police said a 38-year-old man was approached by two people who fired shots in the 7300 block of South Indiana Avenue just after 9:35 p.m. Video from the scene shows multiple evidence markers on the grass outside a home. 

Police said the victim was hit multiple times and was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Hospital.

A 38-year-old man, police later confirmed, was also shot during the incident. He was taken to St. Bernard Hospital in fair condition.

No arrests have been made. 

Area One detectives are investigating.  

The shooting happened at 9:17 p.m. in the 800 block of North Dearborn Street, police said. Officers were seen investigating inside the Lawson House, a former YMCA that provides supportive housing to the unhoused.

Police would not confirm whether the shooting happened inside the Lawson House.

Police said two men, ages 34 and 37, got into a quarrel that turned physical when gunfire was exchanged.

The 34-year-old man was shot in the abdomen and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. The 37-year-old man, described by police as the "offender," was taken to the same hospital in critical condition.

Police said charges were pending Tuesday morning in the shooting.

In Wisconsin, the democratic socialist Francesca Hong and the more moderate David Crowley are duking it out for the Democratic nomination in the governor's race after two other candidates dropped out of the race. President Trump's ally, Rep. Tom Tiffany, is all but certain to win the GOP nomination.

With Minnesota Democratic Sen. Tina Smith not running for reelection, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig are fighting for the Democratic nomination for Senate in another proxy battle between two different factions of the party. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is opting to run for governor, and faces no significant primary opposition in the race to replace Gov. Tim Walz, who is not running for reelection. 

On the ballot for the Republican nomination for the Minnesota Senate seat, Michele Tafoya, a former sportscaster, is considered the frontrunner against Adam Schwarze, a retired Navy SEAL, and Royce White, a former professional basketball player who was the 2024 GOP candidate. In the governor's race, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth and businessman Kendall Qualls are the major contenders for the GOP nomination.

And in South Carolina, the sprint to Tuesday's special primary election to replace Graham on the ticket comes to a head. Graham's sister, Sen. Darline Graham, has been appointed to fill out the remainder of his term and is facing off against nine primary challengers for a spot on the ballot in November. 

Here are the major races to watch today:

South Carolina

Ten Republicans are facing off in South Carolina Tuesday in a special primary election to represent the party on the ballot in November, after Graham's sudden death last month. 

Graham, a four-term senator, had secured the GOP nomination in June in his bid for six more years representing South Carolina. After his death, his sister, Darline Graham, was appointed to serve until January. And days after she was sworn into office, she announced that she was running for a full term representing the Palmetto State — with Mr. Trump's encouragement.

But the president's endorsement of Graham didn't prevent a slew of Republicans from jumping into the race. Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman are also seeking the nomination, along with former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and businessman Mark Lynch, who lost the June primary to the late senator. 

If no candidate secures a majority of the vote in Tuesday's primary, the contest could head to a runoff later this month to determine who takes on Democrat Annie Andrews in November.

Wisconsin governor's race 

Mr. Trump won perennial swing state Wisconsin in 2024 by less than a point, and the state is one of only two in the country with one Republican senator and one Democratic senator. (In Maine, independent Sen. Angus King caucuses with Democrats, while the state's other senator is GOP Sen. Susan Collins.)

Two-term Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is not running for reelection, opening up the Democratic nomination for governor. Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who lost the 2022 Senate race against Sen. Ron Johnson by one point, had thrown his hat in the ring, as well as Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Francesca Hong, a state lawmaker and former chef. 

The race started to take a completely different shape in July, when Crowley dropped his bid and threw his support behind Rodriguez, who was considered more of an establishment candidate. But Rodriguez dropped out days later after discovering her campaign had less money in the bank than previously believed. 

Although Barnes had pulled out a surprise victory in the 2022 Senate primary as a progressive candidate and won statewide as the state's first Black lieutenant governor in 2018, Hong had risen to be the frontrunner. 

With Wisconsin voters facing those hard-left choices on the ballot, Crowley then announced he would return to the campaign trail as a centrist Democrat. Crowley said in a debate last month that he initially made the decision to drop out based on data, but "we were going off false data," prompting him to return to the race.

Barnes then announced on July 30 — less than two weeks before the primary — that he would be dropping his bid, saying, "it's becoming very clear who the Democratic nominee is going to be," pointing to Hong. Barnes' announcement came as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was investigating allegations that he was taking advantage of his role in the party to have sexual encounters with young adult women. Barnes has not addressed the allegations and has not been accused of any crimes. 

The two frontrunners in the Democratic primary are now Hong and Crowley, who has since gotten Evers' backing, setting up a battle between the party's moderate and progressive factions. Barnes' and Rodriguez's names remain on the ballot due to their late withdrawals from the race.

The rise of Hong, who had the backing of the Wisconsin chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America, comes a year after progressive Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayor's race and several other members and those aligned with the organization have notched victories in primaries this year. 

But some of Hong's social media comments from 2019 to 2021 have also come to light: She called for defunding the police and abolishing ICE and the U.S. Senate, disparaged that there were "too many old white people who didn't think we spoke English" at a rural location of the Wisconsin favorite Culver's and called to "cancel Thanksgiving." Hong has disavowed some of these comments, and told Politico last week that Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday.

Tiffany, the GOP candidate, does not face any significant primary challengers. Tiffany is a member of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, and has been one of Mr. Trump's allies in denying the outcome of the 2020 election. 

Wisconsin House races

Wisconsin has eight congressional districts, with two Democrats and six Republicans representing the state in the House. Democrats have been focused on flipping two of those GOP-held seats.

Wisconsin's 3rd District, located in a rural part of the state heavily affected by Mr. Trump's agriculture and tariff policies, is represented by Rep. Derrick Van Orden, an ally of Mr. Trump's. Van Orden defeated Democrat Rebecca Cooke by 11,000 votes in 2022 and was reelected by about the same amount in 2024. The district is considered a toss-up by Sabato Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, and the Democrats' House campaign arm has prioritized the district in its Red to Blue program.  

Cooke, who was defeated in a primary in 2024, is running again for the Democratic nomination, and this time has the backing of the Democrats' House campaign arm. Cooke, who has worked as a political consultant, faces Eau Claire City Council member Emily Berge. 

Democrats are also targeting Wisconsin's 1st District, the district once represented by former House Speaker Paul Ryan and represented by Rep. Bryan Steil since 2018, although the district is considered Likely Republican by Sabato Crystal Ball and would likely be a reach for any Democrat. Three Democrats – Mitchell Berman, Lorenzo Santos and Miguel Aranda — are running to take on Steil, who won reelection by nine points in 2024 and has $6 million cash on hand. 

With Tiffany running for governor, his seat in the 7th District, a safe Republican seat, is now open. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's son-in-law Michael Alfonso is considered the frontrunner for the seat and has the backing of Mr. Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson. He faces four GOP challengers. 

Minnesota Senate race

Minnesota was ground zero for the Trump administration's immigration policies earlier this year, drawing national scrutiny after the fatal shootings of two American citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis. And the issue is front and center in this year's primaries as candidates eye the Democratic and Republican nomination for an open Senate seat. 

On the Democratic side, a dynamic familiar to the 2026 midterms is playing out between Rep. Angie Craig, a centrist candidate backed by a slew of national Democrats, and Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a progressive endorsed by the likes of Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. 

Amid the debate over immigration enforcement, Craig has faced criticism over her previous stances, including her vote last year for the Laken Riley Act immigration enforcement bill, while Flanagan has been unequivocal in her opposition to the administration's immigration policies. But Craig's supporters have argued that the four-term congresswoman is the more electable candidate, especially as Flanagan has been tied to the Minnesota governor's handling of the multimillion-dollar fraud schemes in the state.

On the GOP side, among those vying to be the Republican nominee are Michele Tafoya, a former sports broadcaster, former basketball player Royce White and Adam Schwarze, a retired Navy SEAL. And although Minnesota hasn't elected a Republican to the Senate since 2002, the GOP is hoping to make inroads as it seeks to hold on to control of the chamber next year, seeing some opportunity in a state that former Vice President Kamala Harris won by just four points in 2024.

Minnesota House races

Rep. Ilhan Omar occupies a safe Democratic district in Minneapolis, where the winner is favored to win in November. Omar was first elected in 2018 in an open election, but she has faced centrist opposition in primaries since then.

In this year's contest, she faces four primary challengers, but she is expected to win the nomination again. 

Alabama House races 

After the Supreme Court ruling in May that narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which required majority Black districts in some states, Alabama postponed its House primaries until Aug. 11 so state lawmakers could redraw the districts.

Alabama is currently represented by two Democrats and five Republicans, and Republicans redrew their maps to make the 2nd District more friendly to Republicans, endangering Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures, who won the seat in 2024. Sabato Crystal Ball now considers the seat likely Republican.

Rhett Marques is the frontrunner in the GOP primary for that seat, with the backing of Mr. Trump, Alabama Sen. Katie Britt and House GOP leadership. Marques is facing five challengers on Tuesday. 

Connecticut 

Democratic Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is running for reelection, and is facing a primary challenger — the first time in 50 years that an incumbent governor in Connecticut has been challenged in the primary, according to CBS Hartford affiliate WFSB. 

According to a poll from Sacred Heart University and CT Insider, Lamont is leading Democratic state Rep. Josh Elliott by 35 points. 

Republican Ryan Fazio is not facing any challengers on Tuesday. The same poll found Lamont leading Fazio by 20 points in a general election, and Elliott had a nearly 20-point lead over Fazio as well.

Rep. John Larson of the 1st District is also facing primary challengers for the first time since he was elected in 1998. Larson and his three challengers — former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, West Hartford state Rep. Jillian Gilchrest and Hartford Board of Education member Ruth Fortune — agree on key policy issues, but the race has focused on generational change. Bronin, Larson's most well-known and best-funded opponent, has zeroed in on Larson's age — 78 — and long tenure in Congress. 

Vermont 

Two Democrats are vying to take on Vermont's Republican Gov. Phil Scott in November: Amanda Janoo and Aly Richards. Scott is running for a sixth term, but a University of New Hampshire poll from July found that he has his lowest approval rating since April 2022. Neither Janoo nor Richards has held elected office before, making a November challenge difficult. 

In Vermont's at-large congressional district, Republicans Gerald Malloy and Mark Coeste are vying to take on incumbent Democratic Rep. Becca Balint. But the same July UNH poll found that both would trail her in a general election matchup. 

At least 169 people died and more than 600 were injured in the earthquake, according to a tally released Tuesday by the Association of Mayors.  

By Monday night, more than 2,700 people had been reported missing. Many families posted information about loved ones online, hoping for information about their fate.

The 7.4-magnitude quake struck cities across Colombia's western region shortly after 7:30 a.m. local time Monday, sending panicked residents onto the streets.

The city of Pereira, one of the hardest hit, was plunged into darkness Monday evening as volunteers combed through the remains of collapsed buildings searching for survivors.

"We're without power. This seems honestly like a zombie city," resident Juan David Gaitan told French news agency AFP.

At the airport in Pereira, videos showed pieces of ceiling falling down on travelers taking shelter and screaming, and people running through rubble in a panic. 

The country's president, Abelardo de la Espriella, who had been on the job for only three days, declared a state of emergency and vowed a concerted rescue effort.

Around 1,600 buildings across the country were reported damaged or collapsed, with rescue workers and volunteers seen clearing rubble by hand in some places. The mayors association said 165 structures collapsed.

The Vatican said Tuesday that Pope Leo XIV is "deeply saddened" by the earthquake.

"The Holy Father, deeply saddened to learn the painful news of the earthquake that has seriously affected several areas of Colombia ... offers prayers for the eternal rest of the deceased and raises his prayers to the Lord for the prompt recovery of those affected by this tragedy," the Vatican's secretary of state, Pietro Parolin, wrote in a note to the archbishop of Cartagena, Francisco Javier Munera Correa. 

Dana Carolina Zamora posted an image of her missing 60-year-old uncle, Miguel Ángel Zamora, cradling his dog. The farmer was living in a rural area of El Cairo, not far from the quake's epicenter in San Jose Del Palmar.

"We are afraid. We hope that is not the case, that he is all right and that it is only a communication failure. But we haven't heard anything from him," Zamora said.

De la Espriella announced Monday night that he had mobilized "the entire military and police apparatus" to respond to the temblor.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a social media post on Monday that the Trump administration was closely monitoring the earthquake response and "stands ready to support the people of Colombia."

South Florida organizations are among U.S.-based humanitarian groups mobilizing to send aid to Colombia. 

"There's a lot of damage, and we are waiting for information as to what the needs are. The first is rescue and recovery," Fabio Andrade, a Weston city commissioner and a Colombian American, told CBS News Miami.

Chicago police said that around 3:40 p.m., two people were found unresponsive inside Mark Twain Elementary School, at 5134 S. Lotus Ave. in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood.

Jacob Hernandez says he went to the school. He says he saw the police and fire response when he was biking by.

"I saw two people on a stretcher. They were trying to resuscitate somebody," he said. "And I heard this guy, he was telling me he heard a girl screaming."

A 48-year-old woman and a 63-year-old man both had been shot once in the head. Both victims were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where they were pronounced dead. Police said a weapon was recovered at the scene.

CPS also sent out a letter from the principal saying, "It is with deep sadness that I inform you that this afternoon, shots were fired inside our building. I am sorry to share that members of our school community were impacted."

The principal says there were no students inside the building at the time. They will give parents more information as the investigation unfolds. Students are not expected to go back to school for another couple of weeks.

Several parents came by the school after the shooting, concerned about what happened inside.

Felicia Puga said she's now terrified to drop off her daughter at school once it starts on Aug. 24.

"How are we supposed to send our kids to school knowing something like this could happen potentially again?" she said. "We are just out here thinking, could it be our child? Not knowing it was an intimate situation with the workers here in the school."     

Puga was ready to send her soon-to-be second-grader, Luna, to school and had open house a couple of days before. Now she's considering sending her to another school nearby.

"Now I'm questioning if I should even send her, and hopefully there's a school nearby, but we're not in the district for it," she said. "So we're hoping maybe I can get her into that school, because something is not right here."

As of Monday night, the identities of the victims were not released. Police have not publicly said what they believe led to the shooting, or described the relationship between the people who died.

CPS said it is working with Chicago police and its own Office of Safety and Security as the investigation continues.

The shooting remains under investigation by Area 1 detectives. 

Chicago police said Ankur Patel, 31, was charged with a felony count of first-degree murder.

On August 9, police found the woman unresponsive in a home in the 4800 block of North Avers Avenue with a stab wound to the neck.

The 32-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Police said Patel was arrested around nine hours later. 

He is expected in court for a detention hearing on Tuesday. 

The bigger concern comes mid to late morning into early Tuesday afternoon, when a cluster of thunderstorms brings damaging wind gusts potentially reaching 80 miles per hour. A tornado or two cannot be ruled out.

It took 13 hours to find their 11-year-old with autism, who slipped out of their backyard. His family is now part of a program built for moments like that involving a simple tool that could save a life.

In some ways, kids are predictable. For Lisa Di Orio Cheval, it's no surprise her 11-year-old grandson Joey thinks slime is sublime.

"Since he's on the spectrum, right, like sensory-wise it kind of fills a need for him sometimes," she said.

As a parent, she knows kids can be unpredictable, too.

"It's your worst nightmare as a parent with a special needs child."

Several weeks ago, Joey was playing with his siblings in the backyard of their home in Frankfort. No one saw him use a chair to hop the fence. 

Afterwards, it seemed all of Will County went looking for him.

"Drones, helicopters. The community is amazing. There were people on foot within probably 25-30 minutes of Joey going missing," Cheval said. "I think there were at least three K9 units looking for Joey."

Just what a bloodhound like Lizzy was born to do. She and her partner, Will County Sheriff's deputy Martin Stortz, joined the search for Joey, but they weren't the ones to find him.

"Joey was 3.5 miles away, found in an elderly man's home who went to bed and left his door unlocked," Cheval said.

Safe and unharmed after 13 hours, but it might've been sooner, had a hound had some help from a scent kit, which can bottle up a scent for up to ten years.

"They would use the gauze pad to apply it to the neck, the head, chest region," Stortz said. "Once it's in this jar and sealed up, we can give it to Lizzy, and she'll just go look for that scent."

In Will County, the sheriff's office gives the kits away for free to anyone who has a family member at risk of wandering.

"It's got like this ABD pad in it that I rubbed under Joey's arms," Cheval said.

She hopes she'll never need it, but one is prepared in case of an emergency. Now, she feels more prepared for the unpredictable.

"It just makes me feel better knowing that we have that now," she said.

Clothes can help a dog pick up a scent and track someone down as long as they're not contaminated with other smells. Scent kits allow the dogs to start working right away. 

That's where an 80-foot-tree split after the round of storms just a couple of weeks ago.

Neighbors on Deerpath Road have been watching different parts of a massive tree inch closer to their homes for nearly two weeks.

"Our 80-foot and 100-foot tree split," said homeowner John Berendt.

That's when heavy storms brought down dozens of trees throughout the suburbs.

"We've got one tree leaning over one of our neighbors' houses, and this one will possibly hit the other neighbor's house," John said.

John and Barb Berendt say with all the recent rain, the ground is heavily saturated and most tree removal companies have told them it's not considered an emergency since it's not on anyone's home yet.

Luckily, Martinez's Expert Tree Service showed up for them on Monday.

"What they're doing right now is incredibly brave because they're shimming up the untethered tree," Barb said.

They're just in time to start the removal process as more storms roll through.

"We are like flabbergasted and thrilled all at once. I mean, we absolutely have felt this entire week like any day, it could crash and crush someone," she said.

Neighbors are also extremely relieved to see the tree finally coming down. A woman who lives next door says she's been sleeping in her living room because she was afraid part of the tree could come down on her home at any moment.

"This is the only group that we've run into so far that doesn't need a big crane or a bunch of equipment to come back here," John said.

They're hoping the tree will be gone by Tuesday.

"It's frustrating that we're losing this big tree," he said.

But optimistic about the space it will open up.

"Once we get that cleared out, we'll find out some more trees that we want to put there or some bushes that are native to Chicagoland," he said.

In a wide-ranging interview with the CBS News partner BBC News late on Friday, Hunter Biden grew emotional as he discussed his father's condition, describing it as very sad to watch.

"The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further," he said. "It's very painful and it's very debilitating in many respects."

Joe Biden, 83, was the oldest man to serve as U.S. president and his age was a source of concern for much of his four years in office. He and his White House advisers have faced intense criticism for allegedly concealing the extent of his problems, especially after he was forced to abandon his bid for reelection after a disastrous debate with his eventual successor, President Trump.

The former president revealed his cancer diagnosis in May of last year, less than four months after he left the White House.

At the time, his office said that his cancer was diagnosed with a Gleason score of 9, which placed him in Grade Group 5, the most severe category.

Last September, the former president also underwent surgery for skin cancer in a procedure that involves cutting away thin layers of skin until only cancer-free tissue remains in the treated area. And last October, he underwent a round of radiation therapy for his prostate cancer, his office said.

In an interview with CBS News in May, former first lady Jill Biden said it was a shock when the family learned of the diagnosis.

"Honestly, I can remember getting the diagnosis, and it was just shocking," she said.

She also indicated that the cancer was not discovered while he was serving in the White House.

"Well, you know the doctors said that, according to the American Urological Association, that men over 70 don't need a PSA, a blood test, anymore because it's a slow-growing cancer … I do feel we had amazing care in the White House, but somehow that was missed," she said at the time.

Hunter Biden said the diagnosis had been tough on the family.

"It's really sad to watch," Hunter Biden said. "The only thing that I'd say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more, because it's not good."

But Hunter Biden said his father remains "out there," speaking publicly about the issues that are important to him.

"He's still doing his thing," he said. "He so believes in this country."

The former president will publish a memoir, "Promise Me, America," after the midterm elections.
